Mommy un-dearest
“Mommy Dearest” star Faye Dunaway may be a notorious diva but flight attendants found a way to ground her or the passenger they named “The B***h.”
After a series of in-flight tantrums, management informed staff that Dunaway was not, under any circumstances, to be upgraded to first class. So when Dunaway showed up with a coach ticket, but was denied an upgrade, “She was a total b***h. “Don’t you know who I am?’” a flight attendant tells the New York Post.
“But we refused and sat her at the front of coach, where she could see there were seats free in business and first class, which made her even more furious,” said one witness.
The flight crew also put a stack of wire hangers on the seat next to Dunaway while she was sleeping—a reference to the “Mommy Dearest” (a film about how Joan Crawford mistreated her children) scene in which her character yells, “No wire hangers, ever!“
The diva was not amused.
